Tasha Tudor Corgi Cottage Soup

Lima Beans

Lima beans from the Corgyncombe Vegetable Garden.

"The Tasha Tudor Cookbook" opened to the Soups chapter. In the illustration are some of The Corgyncombe Courant's favorite things: copper, yellowware, a crock, ironware, herbs, and vegetables. In front of the book are some vegetables gathered from the Corgyncombe Vegetable Garden and tarragon from the Corgyncombe Herb Garden.

Corgi Cottage Soup in a kettle atop the stove. Diane grew her lima beans especially so that she could put them in Corgi Cottage Soup.

The receipt for Corgi Cottage Soup is in “The Tasha Tudor Cookbook”. We have had the joy of having the soup made by the author, artist, and cook's own hand... Tasha herself. Delicious!In the above photograph is a bowl of Corgi Cottage Soup made by Diane. Excellent and warming on a chilly autumnal day!
